Daniel Riggs, the grandson of tennis legend Bobby Riggs, has reportedly been arrested on child pornography charges by armed FBI agents.<\/p>\n

He is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old female player who he’d been coaching, according to federal court records.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old American now faces charges of enticement of a minor and production of child pornography, the Daily Mail<\/a> reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Riggs’ grandfather Bobby, who died in 1995 at the age of 77, is widely known for his ‘Battle of the Sexes<\/a>’ match against Billie Jean King<\/a> in 1973.<\/p>\n

Bobby Riggs also won three Grand Slam singles titles – two of which came at the US<\/a> Open – while he clinched the Wimbledon trophy in 1939.<\/p>\n

His grandson Daniel Riggs was arrested by several armed FBI agents in Fort Lauderdale, Florida<\/a> on Tuesday at the Lauderdale Tennis Club.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that Riggs engaged in sexual conversations with a female minor on Snapchat, according to a federal complaint filed in September.<\/p>\n

The complaint accuses Riggs of requesting ‘child sexual abuse’ materials, creating ‘multiple anonymous profiles’ and ‘at times advising the minor victim to delete their conversations’, the US Attorney’s Office said.<\/p>\n

Riggs was also accused of\u00a0sexually abusing the minor while they traveled for tournaments domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n

It is reported that a pretrial detention hearing has now been scheduled for Monday, December 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Riggs began coaching the teenager in 2020 with the alleged sexual assault beginning in October 2021.<\/p>\n

The Riggs family operates their own private tennis training company – Team Riggs Inc – within the Lauderdale Tennis Club in Florida.<\/p>\n

State business records lists Daniel as the president of the company, which leases courts from Lauderdale Tennis Club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
